Fig. 2

Observed time-to-recrudescence for ACT stratified by region and duration of follow-up. The y-axis depicts the time for the recrudescent infection to reach microscopic limit of detection (50 parasites/µL). In Africa, the distribution is shown for children < 5 years age, whereas in Asia/ S. America, data are shown for patients of all ages. Each dot represents an observed recrudescence. AL = artemether-lumefantrine; DP = dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine; ASMQ = artesunate-mefloquine; ASAQ = artesunate-amodiaquine, and n = number of recrudescences. Only data from studies with at least three molecular markers are shown in the graph. For DP (Asia), the graph depicts recrudescences observed in studies from Asia and S. America combined
